Things that aren't haram but culture made it look sinful
Islam was never complicated
We did that through culture, opinions, and fear of people.
Let's go back to what Allah and His Prophet actually said... not what society decided.

1. Saying no to elders respectfully Boundaries are not disobedience. Islam teaches kindness and clarity.
The Prophetﷺ said:
"There is no obedience to any created being if it involves disobedience to Allah, may He be glorified and exalted." (Musnad Ahmad 1095)

You're paying $1200+ for an iPhone and using 30% of it.
The rest sits buried in settings Apple designed you to never check.
I spent 20 minutes digging through mine.
Found 10 features that replace apps I've been paying for.

There is a chicken & egg game between populaces & elites that many "elitists" don't understand. Elites are neither superior nor aristocratic but exist because of a tautology, something that is true by definition.

will continuously attempt to create their own elites. All an elite is is someone who can influence or control the populace, whether we are talking about culture, politics or hard power. It's not like there is a separate species one has to be born into.

The early stage of the current RW base created Wallace as an elite, to try to overturn the enormous degree of cultural destruction that occurred in the 1960s, with forced busing, the Civil Rights Act becoming supreme over the Constitution, Hart-Celler, and so on.

1/ With the quality of life in Russia steadily deteriorating, Russian warblogger Alex Kartavykh is keen to raise morale. He has asked his followers on Telegram: "What's good in our country?" The answers have an element of clutching at straws. ⬇️ 
2/ – They allow you to put square number plates on the front of your car. Since about three years ago.
– There’s loads of snow in winter; it crunches poetically underfoot.

1/ Microsoft, Google, Amazon, Oracle, and Meta will spend over $685B on capex in 2026.
That is roughly 4x India's defence budget. From 5 companies.
On one category of asset.
Almost all of it is going into AI data centres.
Here is what we @XponentTribe found when we broke the buildout down, layer by layer 👇

2/ The capex itself
Capital intensity at these companies has reached 45 to 60% of revenue. Oracle is now spending 86 cents of every revenue dollar on capex.
These are utility-company ratios at companies that used to be asset-light.
In our letter, we explain why this looks irrational on paper but is actually a rational response to game theory.

3/ Why it keeps going
The cost of training a frontier AI model has grown roughly 1,000x in six years. GPT-3 cost $4M to train in 2020. The next generation models will cross $1B.
This is not a forecast. It is an observed empirical relationship called a scaling law.
We explain why this single relationship is what makes the entire infrastructure cycle self-reinforcing.

Here are 12 Perplexity prompts that build the kind of threat assessments governments pay millions for.
(Save for later)
1/ The Signals Collection Brief
CIA analysts don't start with conclusions.
They start by collecting every available signal from every available source before forming a single opinion.
Most business intelligence fails here. People collect the signals that confirm what they already believe and call it research.
"Run a full signals collection brief on [competitor / market / geopolitical situation]. Pull from every available public source simultaneously: news from the last 90 days, regulatory filings, job postings, executive statements, patent applications, partnership announcements, customer reviews, social media activity, and any academic or industry research mentioning them. Do not analyze yet. Present everything organized by source type. Flag anything that appeared in only one source single-source intelligence is always treated with higher skepticism in CIA methodology."
The quality of your analysis is entirely determined by the quality of your collection.
This prompt collects everything before touching a single conclusion.

2/ The OSINT Deep Dive
OSINT Open Source Intelligence is the CIA's most underrated discipline.
80% of what intelligence agencies know about foreign governments comes from public sources that anyone could access.
The advantage isn't access. It's knowing what to look for and where.
"Run a full OSINT deep dive on [target company, person, or organization]. Go beyond the obvious sources. Pull: corporate registry filings and ownership structure changes, court records and litigation history, regulatory actions and compliance violations, property and asset records, archived versions of their website showing how their messaging has evolved, conference appearances and what topics they've spoken on publicly, and any technical footprint visible through job postings or open source code repositories. Organize findings by confidence level: confirmed, probable, and possible."
The CIA calls unverified intelligence 'raw.' This prompt turns raw into confirmed.

One such phrase 'Dali Gadva' has been used for Kashmiri Pandit minority, since centuries. The connotative attribute of this nickname given to Kashmiri Pandit community was used to weaken their social image and self belief. 3/n
